Arthur Lee's first known recording (1963). The Ninth Wave was released by his first band, the instrumental outfit called The LAGs, a Booker T & The MG's type of unit which included Johnny Echols(future co-founder, guitarist and vocalist of Love), Lee (organ), Allan Talbert (saxophone) and Roland Davis (drums).

Thane Russal was a Rolling Sones discovery and entourage member. He was a big hit in Italy and Australia but never caught on in the U.S. and U.K markets. This great Otis Redding cover (one of only 10 songs Russal ever recorded) was produced by Paul Francis Gadd aka Paul Raven, best known as Gary Glitter. Guitars: Big Jim Sullivan & Jimmy Page. Bass: John Paul Jones. Drums: Bobby Graham.﻿

Seasick Steve with Dan Magnusson and John Paul Jones at iTunes Festival, Roundhouse, Camden. 2nd July 2011. Well worth checking out some of his other amazing live videos playing his home made instruments.

Wade through when you have the time...some really cool stuff here....Recommend "Love in Disguise" at around the 51 minute mark and "Wailing Wall" which follows shortly after. Great renditions of "Mammon" and "Fascist Christ" are also well worth checking out beginning at around 1:05. "Bag Lady" is an amazing piece!

Maitreya Kali a.k.a. Craig Smith recorded this song circa 1970. He
included it on his Inca LP, a small number of which were pressed in
1972, as a double album paired with Apache.

For more info see the book
Swim Through the Darkness: My Search for Craig Smith and the Mystery of
Maitreya Kali by Mike Stax. Published September 16, 2016 by Process
Media. Mike began his quest to solve the mystery of Craig Smith in 2001. It took him 15 years to unravel and document the mystery. I highly recommend this outstanding book!!
